SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) – A man accused of tossing bricks into a crowd of people during Tuesday’s May Day protests in San Francisco has had a previous run-in with city workers and will face felony charges, according to the San Francisco Police department.

According to a release by SFPD, Jesse Nesbitt was booked of charges of assault with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer and vandalism for allegedly tossing several bricks into a crowd of people gathered outside the building at 888 Turk Street.

A bystander was hit in the face by one of the bricks, but he refused treatment at the scene. The incident was caught on camera by CBS 5.

CBS 5 has confirmed that 34-year old Jesse Nesbitt is the same demonstrator who was arrested on November 9, 2011 for throwing a bottle at a city employee who was trying to clean the encampment at Justin Hermann Plaza.

“That’s the same guy” said Michael Andraychak, a San Francisco Police spokesman. “He threw a bottle at a Public Works employee.”
